Painterly

[Top-tier mutual teasing + extreme tug-of-war + trash-talking + 1v1]
Wen Zhi had lived in the shadow of being bullied by her entire family since she was young until she was discarded by the He Family as a pawn.
After returning to the country, the first thing she did was to give the He Family a big present.
At the banquet, as soon as Wen Zhi was done with her mischief, she wanted to flee.
Just as she reached the corner, a man stopped her.
“Little Zhi, haven't seen you for five years, where are you running to?”
Looking at the big demon lord who'd tormented her since her childhood, with such a righteous human-dog appearance, Wen Zhi swallowed her saliva.
In her ears, she could almost hear He Hanjin saying that same line to her countless times:
“Little Zhi, you need to be good. If you dare to run, I'll break your legs.”
So in the past, she was constantly playing the good girl, and Hanjin seemed very satisfied with her obedience.
But now that she had finally broken free from his control, she didn't know how he'd torment her if he caught her again.
How could she not run?!

Let Her Flirt

She just wanted to leave this place quickly and had no intention of striking up a conversation with He Hanjin.


He Hanjin stood at the entrance merely to have a smoke, trying to relieve his fatigue.


Dressed in a sharp suit, his hair deliberately styled, it was evident he was attending an important banquet.


Yan Xi and Wen Zhi had only taken a few steps when they were spotted by He Hanjin.


His smoking motion paused, thinking his eyes were playing tricks on him; he rotated his eyes a few times, letting them clear up a bit, then looked again in the direction of Wen Zhi.


After confirming he hadn't mistaken the person, his eyes darkened, and he immediately followed them.


Yan Xi was still inquiring whether to buy her a cup of honey water later when he saw Wen Zhi suddenly being pulled—had he not steadied her timely, she might have fallen over right there.


Just as Yan Xi was about to get angry, he saw it was He Hanjin and swallowed all the words he had planned to say.
